Calming calamine wash

Do you remember putting calamine lotion on bug bites as a child? Aqua Marina was made with the same principle in mind; using the soothing pink extract to calm irritated, sensitive skin. This creamy, gentle cleanser is rolled up with mineral-rich nori seaweed to nourish the skin, cooling aloe vera gel and a sprinkling of sea salt for a super gentle exfoliation. Use all over your body in the shower or bath for smooth, perfectly soothed skin!

Features

Under the sea: Aqua Marina is made with three types of seaweed to soften and nourish the skin.

Spent too much time in the sun? This soothing cleanser will help take the sting out.

Best used fresh: Our cleanser rolls are preservative-free, so be sure to use it up by the best before date on your pot!

"This was my first lush product ever and it got me HOOKED! I have always had trouble finding a face wash that would keep my skin feeling clean from morning until night. I have combination skin, and this stuff never left me feeling oily or greasy around mid day, and it did help moisturize as well. I use an extra face lotion in the winter, but in the summer this stuff is perfect. I also worked in a pool all summer, 6 hours a day, leaving my skin very chlorine damaged and dry. I used this stuff on my face everyday and it kept me from breaking out or completely destroying my face. 10/10! Also, my advice is to mash the seaweed into the paste when you first by it, that seaaweed does wonders!

Questions & Answers

My skin is very reactive as well as oily and it dries out easily when I use the Herbalism everyday twice a day. Will Aqua Marina be gentle enough for my reactive/sensitive and oily skin and not dry it out?

Yes, Aqua Marina is a great gentle cleanser for sensitive and oily skin! The calamine works great to calm the most irritated of skins, the seaweed used nourishes the skin, and sea salt works wonderfully as super gentle exfoliant.

I also have really sensitive skin, and Aqua marina gets a little too harsh on my skin. I would recommend the mask of magnaminty. It helps control the oil, leaves me feeling fresh, and I've been using it for about a year with no problems of it irritating my skin.Sent from my iPhone

Q:

I've taken my tub of Aqua Marina into the shower with me and it's gotten very moist/soft and quite wet. I just want to know if that will affect it in any negative way. (For example) Will the quicken up the expiry date? or will mold start to grow?

It should be fine to use, but in the future try to keep the Aqua Marina dry and out of the shower. Or if you are have to use it in there definitely keep the container out of the water and only take what you need!

?Yes, it can! I used to use this product daily religiously and I loved it! It was perfect for my skin.Joshua SpiererSyracuse University Class of 2014Communications and Rhetorical StudiesCollege of Visual and Preforming Arts

Q:

Is this product suitable for all skin types, or is it specifically meant for just one type of skin?

Aqua Marina can be used on any type of skin. It is especially nice for people with sensitive skin as it contains calamine.

Q:

I will be going out of the country for 6 months and am thinking of buying Aqua Marina Cleanser for both my body and face. I would use it everyday, and possibly even 2x a day on my face. How many ounces do you recommend buying? How long does a 8.8oz last? thanks!! Please let me know asap!

Aqua Marina only has a three month shelf life so if you are travelling for 6 months it won't be okay to use for that long.

That is hard to guage, but if it helps, the Fresh Farmacy soap bar is made with the same properties and I can imagine you could bring 3 bars and be fine! I noticed my Aqua Marina had an expiration date, so this won't happen with the bars. Check out the ingredients! Good luck and buon voyage!

The toner and moisturizer you choose really just depends on your skin, and what works best for you. If you don't have any major issues with oil, Breath of Fresh Air is a great balancing toner, as well as Imperialis moisturizer.

I use the Tea Tree Toner and then Vanishing Cream moisturizer. The rose toner might work well too because its soothing like the calamine in the Aqua Marina. I like the Vanishing Cream moisturizer with it because it gives the perfect amount of moisture- I sometimes find Aqua Marina to be a TINY bit drying, but the Vanishing Cream is perfect- it does not leave skin greasy at all!

Q:

I've been using this product for a few weeks and usually have a difficult time washing all of it off of my face even when I scrub vigorously, upsetting my skin. Any suggestions on how to get it all off without rubbing my face raw?

Try using less product, you only need a pea sized amount. Also, use a warm wash cloth to remove any excess product on your skin.

Perhaps you are using too much? You only need a pea-sized bit. Put the droplet in your cupped hand, add water to make a water paste, then apply. Does this help?

Hey,I use very little of the product at a time. I make it kinda runny (thinnerthan a paste) by mixing it with water in the palm of my hand. Then I justuse my fingers to apply like face lotion.I also don't use a washcloth at all but lots of water to gently rinse myface, (but my skin is extremely sensitive.)It's always easiest in the shower bc then I'm sure to adequately rinse myneck & hairline, (which are the places I tend to miss. )Hope this helps.Dianne

Q:

I currently use Aqua marina and I love it. However I also want to buy a pot of Let the good times roll because I think it will provide a bit more exfoliation and moisture. I guess my question relates to if using a cleanser two times a day will be too much. I was thinking of using Let the good times roll to wash my face in the morning, and aqua marina before going to bed. Is this a good idea or should I cut down on how many times I use a cleanser? If it's alright, is the timing of it good, or should I use let the good times roll at night and aqua marina in the morning?

Both cleansers are gentle enough to be used twice daily, and it really just depends on your own preference which one you use in the morning, and which you use in the evening. We would recommend experimenting both ways to see which is best for you!

Q:

How is this product compared to fresh farmacy? Which one is better for acne and sensitive skin? What about fading post acne scars?

Aqua Marina and Fresh Farmacy both contain soothing calamine, so both are great choices for sensitive skin! Since Fresh Farmacy also contains tea tree oil, which works as a natural antiseptic, it does have a bit of an advantage in taking care of acne.

Exfoliation and citrus ingredients are the best way to reduce the appearance of acne scars, and neither Fresh Farmacy nor Aqua Marina incorporate these. Ocean Salt would be best for this purpose, but if you'd rather use something more gentle, Angels on Bare Skin is a great exfoliator as well!

I have hormonal cystic acne and occasional dry spots. Most cleansers and acne products, including Fresh Farmacy, have made me break out even more. I've been using Aqua Marina for two weeks and, while I haven't noticed a change in my old acne scars, my face is generally brighter, smoother, and less oily at the end of the day. The little bumps I've had as long as I can remember along my hairline and on my chin are nearly gone.

Q:

So I live in an area with no LUSH stores near. I need a product to help with red, dry, and EXTREMELY flakey skin. I need a pretty good amount and around ten dollars. Any recommendations?

I would recommend you try the Aqua Marina cleanser! Aqua Marina was made with the same principle in mind; using the soothing pink extract to reduce redness and inflammation in sensitive skin. Those who have a tendency to react to citrus or strong herbal oils will find salvation in Aqua Marina’s gentle aloe vera and moisturizing nori seaweed. I think this product best suits your skin type!

Q:

i currently use aqua marina and have been contemplating getting a clarisonic for a deeper cleansing system for my face. can i use aqua marina on the clarisonic brush? has anyone done this and gotten good results? or do you advice against this? i love this cleanser and dont want to switch.

Unfortunately, none of our cleansers were designed to be used with a Clarisonic. We don't know how they will work with this device as we have not tested them this way. I would really not advise using the Aqua Marina due to its thick consistency and the scrubby, exfoliating pieces in it as these might clog or damage the brush.

It doesn't work as good as a liquid cleanser, but it does work. Just be prepared for little bits of seaweed to get stuck in the bristles!

The aqua marina is amazing for clearing up skin and eliminating redness!!!! I love it especially because I'm allergic to tea tree so finding something with chamomile instead was great its very calming!Sent from my iPhone

Q:

When buying this online, does it come in a black jar like in the picture? Or does it come in a clear container like in the stores?

Buffy body butter is a great choice for KP, as it will exfoliate very gently while hydrating the skin. It is very gentle, and we have received tons of positive feedback on it working wonders for people who suffer from KP!

Aqua Marina can definitely help with acne, however, we definitely have a number of products that are a little more effective on acne-prone skin. Check out Herbalism, or Coalface!

Answered on 8/21/2013 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct

A:

It helped with mine so far but I've only been using it for a week now. The whiteheads I had on my chin and forehead shrank and disappeared overnight and I have not gotten a single new breakout yet since I've been using it. I definitely recommend you test it out on your skin and see how it goes.

Yup, just take a piece of the pink and some of the green seaweed together, add a little bit of water to it in your hands to create a paste, and apply it to your dampened face. The seaweed has great exfoliating properties as well as other benefits so make sure to include it in the process! Apply in a circular motion to your face. Rinse it all off and pat your face dry. Then follow up with a suitable toner and moisturizer for the best results!

Answered on 10/31/2012 by Anonymous

Q:

Do you use the seaweed when you create the paste? Or is it just, there?

You can include a pinch of the seaweed when making your paste, but it won't mash up as easily as the inner parts of the cleansing roll. It helps infuse the roll with nutrients and moisture, though, which is why we include it (and, it gives the cleanser a bit of style!).
